@Proziam @Danopolitan Why are conservatives so easily triggered, such an innocuous thing to block someone for

[Recovering Star Wars fan @RJSWtrilogyWhen]

@Proziam @Danopolitan The average HOA is more oppressive than local government, why on earth would I ever choose to belong to one? The city doesnt tell me what color I have to paint my house, have strict rules on what I can or cannot grow in my yard, or rules on visitors or cars on the street

[Recovering Star Wars fan @RJSWtrilogyWhen]

@MarcGoldwein Yes, so youd also need to consider the change in revenue the government would see if it assumed healthcare. The government would spend more money, and also make more money

@NetanYolo @lauriewolpert26 Nursing usually requires a 4 year degree and does not start at $100K. All trades require schooling, none start at $100K. IT usually requires a degree, either 2 or 4, and wont start at $100K if you dont have a 4 year degree (and even then likely wont). Sales is commission based

@texanconstitut1 Or take a bus, which would be fine if you are doing anything in town, and fairly cheap

[Recovering Star Wars fan @RJSWtrilogyWhen]

@texanconstitut1 If nothing else, HSR Dallas to Austin would be over 1 hour faster than driving

[Recovering Star Wars fan @RJSWtrilogyWhen]

@texanconstitut1 the proposed HSR would be 110mph, which I imagine isnt your average moving speed while driving. the difference in cost mainly comes down to how heavily subsidized car infrastructure is. Theres also the environmental cost and general land use inefficiency of cars

[Recovering Star Wars fan @RJSWtrilogyWhen]

@Proziam @Danopolitan and factor in when looking at the cost comparison, a road is more complicated than a driveway, it may have buried utility lines, storm drains, etc. All things cheaper to do in bulk than individually

[Recovering Star Wars fan @RJSWtrilogyWhen]

@Proziam @Danopolitan no, I am paying collectively for everyone's road. If I had to pay a crew on my own to come out and pave the strip in front of my house, it would be more expensive. Look at the differences in how much it costs per sqft to pave a driveway vs what a municipally paved road

[Recovering Star Wars fan @RJSWtrilogyWhen]

@Owennfa this is why 401Ks are a mix of stable investments (like bonds) and stocks. You also get social security and may have other savings. And even if the stock market goes up sometimes and down sometimes, over the course of the 30-40 years you invested in it, its up.

@KhurrumM @Danopolitan So much of America being privatized or handled by private organizations even when its public money is a big factor in why life is so expensive

[Recovering Star Wars fan @RJSWtrilogyWhen]

@KhurrumM @Danopolitan Long term, we can improve the cost of living by having higher taxes. Our healthcare costs per person would go down in a single payer healthcare system, even if our taxes went up. Higher taxes could be used to fund more affordable housing and mass transit options. etc

[Recovering Star Wars fan @RJSWtrilogyWhen]

@Proziam @Danopolitan most services are things we cannot achieve individually. For instance, if my taxes got returned to me, it wont be enough money to pay for a road. if everyone had to individually pay for their small portion of road, itll be a lot per person. With taxes we can do it more affordably

[Danopolitan ⬱ @Danopolitan]

Unpopular opinion: Poor people should not pay zero taxes. The reason why Scandinavia is able to fund so many public services is in large part because the bottom half is also taxed extensively.

[Recovering Star Wars fan @RJSWtrilogyWhen]

@Rocket_PChain in general you dont want to always frame things in the center unless its a specific stylistic choice, which this doesnt seem to be doing.

The center framing isnt necessarily bad, but the clips from the film have looked visually unappealing in general

[Recovering Star Wars fan @RJSWtrilogyWhen]

@Variety is Variety on Skydance's payroll?

[Recovering Star Wars fan @RJSWtrilogyWhen]

@Queener_Weener they have $80B in debt. WB was considered to have crisis levels of debt when they were at $49B in 2022. Its hard to imagine Skydance digging themselves out of this pit even with big cuts and selling off bits of the company

@JustinMKowalski jfc you people are so boring. We all used to watch movies with some age inappropriate jokes or scenes and turned out just fine. Dont raise your kids to be snowflakes, just tell them not to talk in the theater
